@LachM @Jason_Loke Forever haunted by that screengrab cover. Great article though - I particularly liked the depth on why it is impractical and some of the intersectionality issues mentioned at the end.

@ASMS_Jayne This is a great resource - thank you! I particularly like their description of place-based learning and collaborative learning using technology.

Looks like a fungus, acts like an animal. 720 sexes, digests food with no mouth, moves with no legs, communicates and problem solved with no brain. I sense an excellent PBL for Biology. https://t.co/dFYqyGFqm9

I could say that it's important for students to understand all sides of scientific careers, but actually I just found these gut-bustingly funny. Especially the jaguar. #fieldworkfail https://t.co/q4bdj53sRx

Overheard in my class today: "And this is why I think the world is just one big equation."

Well this is just cool. Could be a good middle school maths/art task for tesselations, rotation and reflection? https://t.co/ih6cPTuDxL
